"I'm not ignoring facts anymore."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Donald Trump's dam is breaking. MTG is, albeit somewhat indirectly, saying publicly that the emperor is naked.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

5/ But here's the even darker kicker.

The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess.

And why?

Extreme weather is battering installations & fueling instability in regions worldwide.

The Pentagon had viewed the climate crisis as a national security threat – not for environmental reasons, but because it undermined operations & readiness.

Now Trump is dismantling that approach.

Pentagon retreats from climate fight even as heat and storms slam US troops

For decades, the military treated the climate crisis as a threat. Now it’s backing away from plans to protect people and bases from extreme weather

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

Me: “Why do you think ‘Succession’ was such a big show?

Arian Moayed/'Stewy': "Because the truth of ‘Succession’ dials into what we’re witnessing every day in our news cycles. There’s an elite group of 10 to 15 people that run everything."

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

A 15-year-old girl was assaulted while alerting her community about ICE raids. The Department of Homeland Security denies any involvement, ICE misrepresents the footage, and then continuously alters its narrative.
